Meaningful Work through Passion, not Genius

This video on what Gladwell calls "meaningful work" is a really important one. Again, he draws from his book, Outliers, and gives the Beatles, and Bill Gates as examples of the idea, which argues that the key to excellence is not genuis, but rather passion, and being willing (and "willing" is the key word) -to go to any lengths to develop a skill or a craft, be it music or computer programming, to an extraordinarily high degree. It is this, he believes, that serves as the true foundation of success.

After watching the clip, add a comment of your own below: Do you agree with Gladwell or not? Do you think his examples are legitimate? Can you think of an example of your own? Do a Google search of "Successful People" and see you can find a story that supports the argument. If you believie genius is "born" not made, find an example of that.
